6BT Conversion

I started this project because I've been marinizing a 1st generation 12 valve Cummins 6bt from a wrecked Dodge pickup truck for the main propulsion in my boat. After getting started, I noticed how little information there was on this topic. I decided to take all of my research and findings and put them onto one web site to help others with this same conversion.

Along the way, I'm also finding great deals on certain parts and realizing just how easy and convenient this conversion process is... Actually, while I'm at it, I'll include the parts for the 4bt as well. It's the same conversion. The 4bt was very popular in bread delivery trucks...

I am posting many of my suppliers and specials that I find along the way.   I've found a handy little widget that displays ebay listings as well.

I'm looking for other contributors that would like to post their projects and findings as well.  Please contact me, and I'll be happy to put your project/search up here.  If you have access to parts, feel free to contact me as well.
